Re: Losses German Bight 18.12.1939

Marius,

I was mistaken when I said at night. All our loss reports were during the day. Disregard that.

My opinion remains the same. Where are the missing a/c SN or casualty reports? Even if the British concealed some loss information for public morale purposes at the time, this would have come to light by now. All of this kind of info has been in the public records for a very long time. The Wellington a/c numbers and crew casualties would have all come to light by now.

As you well know, PoWs lie all the time. In my opinion, most of the PoWs wouldn't have known such a detail anyway.

Regards,
